In Celebration of the 70th Anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's birth,
for the first time ever see Jimi Hendrix's unforgettable August 1969 Woodstock
concert in select cinemas globally.
This special edition theatrical presentation, under the auspices of
Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. has been carefully reassembled from the extensive
archive of film footage helmed by Academy Award winning director Michael
Wadleigh and his hand picked team of skilled camera operators and support
personnel. Jimi premiered a new band and his extraordinary performance on that
August morning included unforgettable renditions of such signature Hendrix songs
as "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," "Fire," "Purple Haze" and "Foxey Lady" as
well as his dramatic interpretation of the "Star Spangled Banner".
Jimi's fascinating road to the Woodstock festival is revealed by way of never
before seen footage and interviews with his band members such as Billy Cox and
Mitch Mitchell, engineer Eddie Kramer and Woodstock's promoter Michael Lang.
Directed by Grammy Award winner Bob Smeaton [Beatles Anthology, Band Of Gypsys,
Festival Express], the documentary, which precedes the performance footage,
reveals the struggle to stage the legendary festival and secure Hendrix as its
headline artist. Hendrix 70: Live from Woodstock will see a worldwide theatrical
release by Omniverse Vision with select screenings from November 26. Visit
